Biography
Theresa Stephens was born in Elizabeth City, North Carolina to a Southern Baptist family of African-Americans. Stevens was raised in a devoutly Protestant Christian family, and she became a staunch conservative and member of the Young Republicans while she was in high school. Stevens became a city council member before being elected Mayor; from there, she became a member of the US House of Representatives, and she was elected to the Senate in 2009. In 2020, she decided to run for President of the United States, and she secured the Republican nomination. Stevens chose Darrell Stephens as her running mate, and she ran against US Democratic Party candidate Tyler Birch.

Stevens was popular in states such as her home state of North Carolina, Maine, and Missouri, but she failed to win as many large states as Birch had.
